Boko Haram want leader for Chibok girls
President Muhammad
Buhari has revealed what Boko Haram wants in exchange
for the release of over 150 kidnapped school girls from Chibok.
The President revealed the insurgent’s demands while speaking
with to Nigerians in Paris on Tuesday.
According to
Buhari, the terrorist group wants to exchange the school girls for one of their
leaders, who has been arrested.
“They wanted us
to release one of their leaders who is a strategic person in developing and
making IEDs that is causing a lot of havoc in the country by blowing people in
churches, mosques, market places, motor parks and other places,” Buhari said.
“But it’s very
important that if we are going to talk to any body, we have to know how much he
is worth. Let them bring all the girls and then, we will be prepared to
negotiate, I will allow them to come back to Nigeria or to be absolved in the
community.”
“This has drawn
a lot of sympathy though out the world, that is why this government is getting
very hard in negotiating and getting the balance of those who are alive, ” he
said.
The girls have
been missing for well over a year, with many fearing that they’ve been
converted into suicide bombers by the terrorists.
